Sunday 2 1 26 morning call

No photos from yesterday, this one from 2013 is one of my favorite Jaws video ever. The footage from the nose of Francisco Porcella's board is unique.

6am Surfline significant buoy readings and discussion. South shore

Lanai

        , 13s, WNW 285º
      • 2.4ft
        , 10s, W 270º
No southerly energy at the buoys, Lanai stills shows a west wrap. Check the Kihei webcam if interested, for size, conditions and consistency.

Smaller than yesterday the NW energy continues at the buoys and will slowly keep decline all day. Home guess for Hookipa is around double overhead and clean in the morning.

 Wind map at noon. One day old and not particularly reliable (other models don't call for Kona). The other ones can be found here.
